What a great day

Well I have had a really good day. It was incredibly busy like all my Tuesdays, but today wasn't nearly as tiring as usual. I had bible study this morning, which is always good, and the ladies and I had great conversation and I was encouraged and blessed. Irene prayed for me, and I feel that God honored her prayer and gave me the energy I needed to not only get through the day, but to live today well. Even when I had to carry Malachi out of McDonalds screaming, I was doing ok. On top of the usual commitments I have tuesdays, I also went grocery shopping, and took Malachi out for a "treat" and scrubbed shower in the ensuit, and did two loads of laundry. (Tony made dinner tonight...West African Ground Nut Stew. Really yummy.)

My lessons went well today as well, the girls worked hard and improved even more today. I recorded their singing onto Tony's computer and then played it back for them to hear. They were able to self correct some things that I have been trying to tell them, but since they couldn't hear themselves, they didn't understand...until today. I am so proud of them. It takes a lot of courage to listen to, and critic yourself.

We went to our friend's surprise 50 th birthday party tonight. We had such a great time. We were so excited to get invited out by them, and really enjoyed the conversation and the other people who were there. I feel optimistic about the future God has in store for us, just to have such great friends to share it with.
